Meet Sockey

Those of you who read my last post may have been wondering the fate of Gnomey the Gnome.  Well, I'm heartbroken to inform you that he is no more.  He was on the mend in the recovery ward (aka, the garage) when my daughter bumped him and he fell...again. No saving him this time.  The pieces were too many and I was not patient enough to try rebuilding him.  He's a gnome, not the Million Dollar Man.  It couldn't be done.

I know, I know.  Sad.

BUT!  I do have some good news.  Before Gnomey left he passed the torch to a less accident-prone successor:  Sockey, the Sock Monkey.

He lives on the dresser with Teddy and friends.
